If it tastes like something you think would go with the flavors of salsa, give it a try.

Vegetables have a high water content which dilutes ordinary vinegar, but Sarson&#39;s Pickling Vinegars are brewed to a special pickling strength so that your pickles will be better preserved. Sarson&#39;s is also already spiced using our own original recipe, so you do not need to boil the vinegar and spices together, just use it straight from the jar&quot;<br /><br />i already have some of this, what do you think?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-84041603142965745032012-10-11T14:59:37.752-05:002012-10-11T14:59:37.752-05:00I&#39;m not sure about the white pickling vinegar ...I&#39;m not sure about the white pickling vinegar (I don&#39;t know exactly what that is), but I don&#39;t think you want the flavor of malt vinegar in there. Can you find some regular old apple cider vinegar from the supermarket (as opposed to the raw organic kind)? That would work. <br /><br />You could also try plain white vinegar, but I wouldn&#39;t use a whole cup. If you&#39;re not planning on canning your relish (so you don&#39;t have to worry about the acidity), you could use as little as 1/4 cup and see how that tastes.Farmgirl Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-58648843787623631972012-10-11T11:41:21.603-05:002012-10-11T11:41:21.603-05:00hi Farmgirl Susan
